Abstract

A connecting cable includes a first end, a second end and a heat dissipation channel in communication with the first end and the second end. The first end is adapted to connect with a first component. The second end is adapted to connect with a second component. The present disclosure also discloses a cable connector, a charger, and a charger assembly having the connecting cable. Compared with the prior art, in the present disclosure, by providing the heat dissipation channel in the connecting cable, the heat generated by the electronic device can be discharged in time through the heat dissipation channel. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance is improved.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
